Deformations related to atom mixing in Si/SiO2/Si nanopillars under high-fluence broad-beam irradiation

High Plastic Strain of Silica Microparticles under Electron Beam Irradiation

The studies of irradiation damage in silica are of significant interest because of its application in nuclear reactors, nuclear waste containers, optical fibers, and semiconductor devices [1,2]. Although there are a number of publication showing the effect of electrons, ions, protons, alpha-particles irradiation on microstructural changes of silica, understanding deformation behavior under appl...

Investigation of Steady-State and Transient Defect Populations in KH2PO4 Subsequent to High Fluence Laser Irradiation

Silicon nanocrystal growth under irradiation of electron beam

In our experiment, it was observed that silicon nanocrystal rapidly grows with irradiation of electron beam on amorphous silicon film prepared by pulsed laser deposition, and shape of silicon nanocrystal is usually sphere in smaller nanoscale with less exposure time under electron beam, in which the quantum dots are prepared in nanoscale near 3 nm. In the electron interaction process, it was in...

Fluence correction factor for graphite calorimetry in a clinical high-energy carbon-ion beam.

The aim of this work is to develop and adapt a formalism to determine absorbed dose to water from graphite calorimetry measurements in carbon-ion beams. Fluence correction factors, [Formula: see text], needed when using a graphite calorimeter to derive dose to water, were determined in a clinical high-energy carbon-ion beam. Measurements were performed in a 290 MeV/n carbon-ion beam with a fiel...
